Papers or presentations should be planned for no more than twenty minutes and should emphasize audience involvement and aim at stimulating questions and discussion. Media presentations are especially welcomed. We will be happy to supply DVD players and TV monitors. We will probably have no other AV available.

Topics related to any and all aspects of sports and sports history in the New England and Massachusetts are especially invited. Topics on all areas of sports (history, literature, sociology, physical education and recreation, current issues, etc.) are welcomed.

The absolute deadline for a 250-word abstract is November 3, 2006. Inquiries about possible papers or proposals for sessions are also welcomed. There will be a strict limitation of one presentation per person for this conference. All presenters must register for the convention and be a current member of either the PCA or the ACA. Pre-registration for the meeting is required to ensure participants will have their names listed in the conference program. Please include a mailing address on all e-mails.

If your paper is accepted, you will receive an acceptance letter, registration information, the information you'll need to join the PCA/ACA, and the room reservation information.
